I love the idea of a game that tells a story by, for, and about girls. I just dont think an MMORPG, where you're supposed to customize and project on them, is the best place for something like that.
Literally the only reason I hesitate on having male characters is because of the sisterhood aspect. Not because it MUST be a sisterhood, but because the introduction of a sole male protagonist meant to be the one to fix it all and save everything comes across as male savior complex or white savior. Had the lore been written differently, I would not feel this is an issue. But they would have to rehaul things a bit. Making other male characters like Justin have a larger role in things would be enough to help, I think. And honestly that would have been enough, considering he was taken for the purpose of turning into a dark rider. They just need to flesh out their story and make it more inclusive. I like the sisterhood aspect but it's just troubling at times. Also like, I also don't think there *needs* to be a male playable character, but sso makes it so that there should in the way you customize your character. Plenty of games have set protagonists, but the difference with them is that they are a character on their own, not one that the player creates. But here, you DO create your own character (your "uniquely you") and yet are limited to one sex. Which is quite a flaw. Sso can't just do both and not expect backlash.
I think it’s absolutely insane, why can’t a game have only a female protagonist? Read dead and a lot of other games have it too? I think it’s special and logical that u can only play a woman in the game. In read dead u have to get over it and in sso also get over it
This video brings me so much joy 🥰thanks for always bringing the bants Megan 💜 p.s. I would pay extra for shipping the Khemosab*tch tees internationally, I need that for my WFH Zoom call wardrobe
I do just be yappin 😂 Also, since I'm using a print on demand service, they do ship internationally :) And from what I remember, shipping seemed pretty reasonable (I think it was $5 shipping a tee to the UK for example??) Hope that helps :3
I ended up seeing you entering the Clarion as I was leaving it and didn’t have the balls to say hello - forever regret. There’s always next year though :)
The KHP police after seeing this video: 🚓🚓🚓 Awesome haul! Congrats on getting your first resin! Do you plan on doing a video or short of him once he gets painted? Also, I laughed way too hard when I saw your shirts! 😂😭 My favorite purchase this year is probably Fighter and Survivor. I put them in my preference list and (miraculously) got selected for them. On a side note, I am super excited about next year's BreyerFest theme. I have no doubt Breyer is planning something big! I had to cancel my in-person plans this year due to some circumstances out of my control, but if it means that BreyerFest 2025 will be the most goated experience ever, I will gladly wait until then to return to KHP! 😃🙌
Breyerfest was also a quality over quantity thing for me this year, I crossed out 4 major grails which is a bit crazy! I managed to find the bay and smocky black chevaliere to go with my red roan, as well as victoria AND biggest grail ever Daytona!! (I must sound really rich but I'm not, now I can't buy anything other than pasta for the duration of my time payments which are like 10 months 😭😂)
love all the horses i did not go in person but i did do online and got all the SR I wanted and i loved almost all of the SR this year so yay now im broke
Thank you! i found this helpful! I used to be a collector from at least 2012 to late 2023 and i used to post a bunch of music videos with my Schleich Horses but i kinda took a toll on collecting this year because of the prices of those increasing and did not fit the time i had to collect them again but i am taking a step back from constantly from buying them since i do have a job part-time and releasing remixes of songs on SoundCloud and commiting to perform with a cover rock band i'm in at the moment which is finishing up sometime in June and then from high school to college this August which make's it harder but I am getting in the zone of returning to collecting Schleich for me at the moment but i am making a return to collecting
I switched to an American server due to my og one having trouble with payment (og is Russian, so yeah, and yes, I made an alt), and… god, the community is overwhelmingly sexist. Today I saw two players discussing male players like they’re some sort of creeps, 100%, all of them, no exception. I saw things like “it’s only okay for boys to play if they’re kids, if they’re adults it’s not” and look, I get the concern, but there is a Russian SSO RU-vidr who plays the game with her husband, he supports her in this hobby and shares it with her, what is wrong with that? Should he be bullied into quitting because he’s a man? That said, I don’t remember any of that harassment on my original server. Granted, I never paid too much attention to the chat, but even so, I remember seeing male players and no one cared. I’m a woman. I was a little girl once. Furthermore, I was a little girl with access to MMOs. I agree that girls should be careful, yes, but insisting that SSO is a “safe space for women” is a concept doomed to fail because no MMO can ever be a perfectly safe space when it’s a game where everyone hides behind their avatars, and treating an online game like a safe space is a big mistake, dangerous even. If anything, in a game like SSO I would probably be especially cautious, since it’s so easy for a potential predator to present themselves as one of the little girls. If anything, they’re much more likely to do just that. And generalizations like the ones you show in this video, as well as the comments I saw myself earlier today, are extremely harmful and help no one, they only create a hostile environment when it could be a friendly and accepting one. And honestly, personally, I care more about the quality of the game and the community being solid and friendly rather than having a place just for me. I played girls’ games. I played… every other game too for that matter. As for the story being “about a girl”, well, originally there were only four Soul Riders and the fifth one already comes across as a stretch, so there’s that, they’re already retconning the original story, we only have bits and pieces of the original tale left. At the end of the day, sexism is still sexism (plus I have no right to speak on behalf of LGBT people as I am not a part of the community, but I’ve seen a fair share of trans men playing the game and wishing they had the option to represent themselves properly, and they deserve this right), and it’s not a good look.
Girl! Chill out! If you don’t like certain Breyer Models, that’s okay! But, I feel as though you’re giving Breyer a bad name! I’m sorry. But, all you’re hating on these absolutely gorgeous Breyer Models is really annoying. Please, get rid of this petty hate!
I agree with what you said im.an adult star stable player ( im 44) was on the hameany yeats ago also but was pushed to quit by bullies ( mostly kids) that found out that i was an adult playing " a kids game" .. talking of bullies sometimes the worst is the kids !! Im a member of a FB adult star stable club .. i always treat everyone with respect i dont rp or private message kids or players and some of rhe quests are hard !! Don't get me started on the sabine or ged dc guys 😮 so yeah its not kust a kifa game.. ive seen players get around the no male characters by them buying ( or wearing a given one in a quest) moustaches or beards
I was showing at breyer West over a decade ago and chose to make my own tags in an obnoxious color to save on money and enjoy the color green 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 Lucky I did, because my glossy ELCR (yeah remember that) standung apricot dun won her class, and as i made my way over to pick her up. I watched as another person my age walked away with her, I was dumbfounded, and people were telling me to pick up the remaining model on the table to begin the next class (there is a big No No to touching a model which is not yours so ofc I wouldn't bring it to them), but It was not my model, so I waded through the competitor tables to the person and watched them take a picture with her, Lime Green tag and all. And informed them their model was on the table, I could see her get very nervous and try to put the dun model away but I started pointing out it was my leg tag, she replied, "no its mine my favorite color is lime green" I asked her to check and see what the tag said, and her mother picked up the tag dangling there and read it, and was like, damn, "yeah this not her model, (insert kids name) how did you not know you were picking up a horse that wasn't yours? Don't you remember where you left it on the table? I loved that her mom called out the b.s. but it was really apparent as she handed the model back to me that it was supposed to be a sly move. Yikes. 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 I now know how to speak out in the moment better, and not doubt myself. At a bustling show two years later, a simple, "hey, wait" prevented a child helping their sibling walk off with someone else's model. I may have a lot of flaws and SEE Everything, but at least in that case it helped another competitor have to go through what I did. Zero blame on sibling helper, they probably didn't realize that you have to check leg tacks before picking up your models off the table, standard practice at shows Thats okay its where we go to learn All ended well, and I still have that lovely Gloss Apricot Dun, she is one of my favorites I would've been crushed if things had gone differently all those years ago 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 Enough nerding out on stuff that happened a decade ago! Sweet channel! Your smash or pass vid was hilarious 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 Much Love
This vid needs more views from the community. It's sad to see the game include everyone except cis-men and boys. No, this game is not for inappropriate role-play and ofc you don't want predators joining the servers, but it's so sad to equate all cis males as predators :( labeling all boys as creeps kinda enforces that that's how we expect boys to behave.
Not to mention having male characters wouldn't stop predators at all. Predators usually disguise themselves as young females so they can gain the trust of other young females and get them to send explicit images.
the problem with this beowulf is that style of artwork doesn't not belong to one person. I have been doing that style/likness like the artist here since I was 14 and now 60 years old as well as all the thousands who also do this style of artwork. it would be hard to bring it to court unless it was a copy of the artist's work. this is one of island, native indigenous art style.
The Response iss real SSO. Im the old Days they were Listing, but since the new Team. I love the Game i play it almost everyday. Yjey make manz misatkes, they don't reaslly think about what they doing. I hope we (as community) can holkd on and save SSO because ther is nio game such as SSO is. It has many Potential. I am an OG, play the game since 2013 (My youngest daughhter was 4) she showed me the Game. we played at tiogther fire a few Years, I'm an older SSO player and a Father..
Remember, when star stable used to ask their fans to give them fan, art and be like we have a fan art contest blah blah blah and then they literally have like a thing posted in their daily news from like four years ago of desktop wallpapers where you can click it and there’s over 50 to choose from for your desktop and they’re all made by fans now they just use AI it so stupid they should go back to where someone draws it for them. It’s much better and way Prettier.
It felt like they were (somewhat) trying to turn things around halfway through last year. Then December hit and halfway up the hill they turned around and jumped on a sled. Disappointing, but not a surprise.
I completely get your confusion about their statement. Like is changing the Spotify banner at certain time really that important that it can't be delayed a day or two to get a proper asset? 🤔 I hope they are being honest, but if not, I hope they realize sooner than later that people appreciate honesty over lying.
